Well, the scale made yesterday's first "no beer" day worth it. I ate way more calories than I usually do when I have my Michelob ultra light beers but still stayed under rdi. After just 36 hours of no alcohol, I dropped 3 pounds. My next official weigh in day is the 15th, so I'm not recording it in my weight history. That alone should be enough to keep me motivated to stay away from the drink, but my mind is already making plans on how I can sneak it in. A friend is coming to the pool today and she'll likely bring a tasty cocktail. That's our thing- cocktails and gossip by the pool. Yesterday I did alright- I wasn't thinking about it too much. I read almost an entire book so that kept my mind busy. But, after I put the kid to bed and had a quiet moment, I really wanted a jigger of gin and an icy beer. I'm sure that if I had a drop in the house, I would have made it happen. But there's not a drop here. Believe me, I looked, more like searched in vain for a bottle hidden in the way back, but it wasn't there. So instead, I had peanut butter on saltines and 10 Swedish fish. I definitely don't want to trade a beer habit for a peanut butter and Swedish fish habit. ugh. I hope I can make it through today. I really want to abstain until the 15th. That would make 8 days in a row of no alcohol. Can I do it? Oh gosh, day 2 is only beginning.

Alright. I'm ready for the next level. I struggled to find a new comfort zone, and well, I guess I'm feeling comfortable. I drink too much alcohol for this "lifestyle change." I'll still indulge when I want to but I can't be drinking a bunch of beer EVERY day. Even though I'm playing in the hot sun by the pool. I hope this won't be a problem. I just have to treat it like a bad food choice. I'm afraid my mind is going to give me trouble. I had been putting three beers in the fridge every morning so that they'd be cold by afternoon time, but then some days I found myself throwing an extra in the freezer. Then I got used to just throwing another and another in there. It needs to stop. I have 19lbs left. I can't lose 19 pounds drinking 500 calories of beer each day. I drank the last one before bed. No more beer in the house. My reward is weight loss and a smaller belly.

Hope you're all strong today.
